Kalaupapa, Molokai. Good evening, I'm Yunji De Nies. And I'm Paula Akana. We have TEAM coverage tonight... KITV-4's Kenny Choi is live at Makani Kai Helicopters here in Honolulu, Catherine Cruz has details on WHO WAS on board, Brenton Awa has THE LATEST on Coast Guard RESCUE operations... -- but FIRST we go to KITV-4's Andrew Pereira -- who has the LATEST information. Andrew? Yunji, Paula... Nine people were onboard the plane... eight passengers and one pilot when it went down in the ocean at about 3:45 this afternoon. Onboard, was Hawaii Health Director Loretta Fuddy. Right now we're told by a Maui County official that eight people HAVE been rescued, but we don't know WHO. That leaves one person STILL missing. We'll zoom in on a map of the area to give you look of where the plane went down. Again, this is off Kalaupapa on the island of Moloka'i. The plane that hit the ocean is a Cessna Grand Caravan that was built in 2002. It received it's air worthiness certificate in 2008, which expires in 2015. The Cessna was in route to Honolulu from Kalaupapa at the time of the crash. We spoke about an hour ago to the president Makani Kai, Richard Shuman, who said it was another plane that first saw the crash. phoner gfx on tape SOT RICHARD 47:48 OUR PLANE LEFT KALAUPAPA, HEADING BACK TO HONOLULU AND THE AIRCRAFT EVIDENTLY WENT INTO THE WATER AND THERE WAS ANOTHER PLANE NEARBY, I GUESS IT WAS CIRLCING AND NOTICED ALL OF THE PEOPLE GOT OUT WITH LIFE VESTS ON. 48:02 Again, eight people have been rescued... Five were pulled out of the ocean by Maui County fire rescue. Three people were rescued by the U-S Coast Guard. At this point we don't know what may have caused the crash. A team from the National Transportation Safety Board will likely investigate. Paula, Yunji? Makani Kai provides helicopter tours out of its location off Lagoon Drive here in Honolulu.
